ISO New England Upload

It is our understanding that the following rules apply for uploading:

Members are free to manipulate the current month’s event and performance data up
to the 20th day of the following month. After that day, the system will not
accept any insertion, deletion or modification to the data.

For performance data, the lockout criterion is determined by the Year and Month
specified in each record. For example, March 2012 data is locked as of April 21st
2012.

For event data, the lock out criteria is determined by the year and month fields
of the Event Start Date. This means members can only insert or update events that
were started during the reporting month. The only exception allowed is to close
an open event that started in an earlier month.

Following the NERC convention, each month’s submission may contain YTD data. However,
previous month’s data may not be modified if the lock imposed by the administrator
is in effect. The only exception is to close an on-going event that started in a
previous month.

The ISO-NE GADS administrator has the ability to unlock the system for the members
to perform update.

Open Source software are shown below:
